Cinderella Seeks Kenneth Branagh to Direct

Disney is currently working on a live-action Cinderella movie, and the search for a director may be coming to an end. Mark Romanek was previously attached, but left the production earlier this year, and now Kenneth Branagh is in talks to direct.

Branagh is a well-known actor/director who is best known recently for directing 2011's Thor, and the upcoming action film Jack Ryan.

The title role has yet to be cast, with a shortlist said to include Saoirse Ronan (The Host), Alicia Vikander and Gabriella Wilde. Cate Blanchett (The Hobbit) is attached to play the evil stepmother.
